Thanks, comments below.

--------

aiglx-defaults.patch - Strict binding should probably be made default. I
don't think indirect rendering should though. 

composite-cube-logo.patch - looks ok.

glfinish.patch - don't need this anymore. a more appropriate fix has
been applied to head.

icon-menu.patch - sure.

resize-offset.patch - makes sense.

restart.patch - I guess this one should also go in. However,

+    const char *clone[] = { "compiz", NULL };
+    const char *restart[] = { "compiz", "gconf", NULL };

is wrong. we should probably grab the current arguments here instead.

terminate-move.patch - not sure about this. if I can get the use case
that this patch fixes I'll probably be able to suggest a more
appropriate fix.

tfp-server-extension.patch - this has been mentioned before and it's
wrong. Both client and server side extension support must be checked as
compiz is currently doing.

------

So these patches are of interest: composite-cube-logo.patch,
icon-menu.patch, resize-offset.patch, restart.patch and
terminate-move.patch. I'd like to know who the author of each patch is
and that he/she is OK with them being included upstream.
